Summary

This study looked at new rapid HIV tests that give results during a single clinic visit, instead of making patients wait days. Researchers tested these point-of-care tests on 224 adults at high risk for HIV in Baltimore. The goal was to see if faster results help more people start HIV treatment or prevention medicine right away.
